which one?? WHIR

Postby bigdawg78 » Mon May 24, 2010 3:18 pm

i am a weekly set-up league (starts mon-sun)

at SS i have the option of Starling Castro (3 LA, 3 StL) or Rafael Furcal (3@ ChC, 3@ Col) (just acquired through waivers) i am favoring Castro since i havent seen Furcal play since his injury (although supposed to be back Tue)

at SP i start 5 (and im sure of 2) lol

my rotation options are Danks, Felix Hernandez, Marcum, Matusz, Price, Lackey, and Liriano

right now i have in Danks(@cle, @ TB), Felix (@Ana), Marcum (bal), Matusz (oak) and Price(ChW).. with Lackey @ TB and Liriano vs NYY on the bench

what do you guys think?? WHIR

I think you need to go with Castro until you see what Furcal can do when he returns. I do have some confidence in Furcal but Castro is hitting well right now so I don't see a need to make a change. As for pitching, that's a tough choice. I guess I would very begrudgingly agree with your current rotation, but I wouldn't feel comfortable about it. Good luck.

I always usually wait a week to see how a player does coming off an injury before starting him right away unless its an elite player so i would be safe about it. And I think your pitching looks good also. I like liriano more then lackey but its a tough call against NYY and the twins have problems with the yankees. i like the matchups with the guys you have going. Some pretty weak offenses. can u help me out viewtopic.php?t=412841

Castro at SS and Liriano for your final pitching spot. I hate Liriano less in his matchup against the Yankees. If Lackey had a weak matchup, I would be more up in the air. But since he and Liriano both play formidable offenses this week, I'm going with Liriano, who is the better pitcher so far this year.

Help with mine?

I'd definitely go with furcal since I am a believer and Liriano over Lackey vs TB.

Please Help
